I totally agree with your post, but they said they will do some tweaking to the scores later on. What fun can you have playing beginning multiple times, knowing you are going to win.
I am starting to win on challenging constantly now, here is how i start. 1. A must is to make a planet, ether earth or one you find, PURE manufacturing. The reason will be stated later. 2. Get those research techs fast. 3. Make sure you have weapon capabilities. 4. Take adavantage of the minor races while you can. 5. from the start of the game i use 60% social and 40% research. When i see that i'm in last place change those sliders and start pumping out ships
play harder then normal. They seem to respect thier advanced weaponry much more.
Now i can beat the game on Normal 99.9% of the time. Now on challenging, i can beat it 20% of the time. Average high score for Normal games = 13,000 or so Average high score (victorious) for Challenging games = 8,000 It is so much harder to beat it on challenging then it is on normal, yet, if i were in an empire and wanted to raise thier rank, i'd go just play normal games because 1) they are faster 2) they give more points. I know it took a little m
I would actually rank this ahead of Civ4, I am a HUGE civ fan, but this game is fun all the way through! I just had a game on chellenging. Only Me (Terrans), and two other races. I was allied with one, while the other controlled about 70% influence on the map. Found 6 rangers in a short timespan, and the unallied race declared war upon us. After years of fighting us allies held our ground. until the massive ships that the enemy was hiding just ran us over. Wow, i've never seen s
"I visited Game Rankings today to see what was new and to my shock, Galactic Civilizations was #3 in the most popular games. But..But..PC games are supposed to be dying right? Isn't that why it's hard to get shelf space? People don't play PC games? Certain promises were made. And turn based strategy? Nobody plays turn based strategy. What's up with that? What are you people doing? Didn't you get the memo? Quit playing the game and get back to whatever it is you're supposed
I had an event on earth where the moon started creating fissures and would soon explode in a couple of weeks, yet i still have the moon! This doesn't really bother me because i love having the moon and everything, but it would be cool if it actually dissapeared.
Is it harder to make your people happy? The reason i ask this is beacuse i thought when you changed a difficulty level, the only thing that changes is the AI economy and the way they think. I didn't think anything else was effected, maybe i'm wrong, beacuse i have 3 unhappy planets on challenging, whne i had tons like them on normal and they were at least twice as happy with the amount of happiness buildings i put on each planet compared to the food i put on each planet.
For me, i find the first minor civilization i can. Trade everything for everything except for weapon paths i will not follow. Even if it cost me money it is much cheaper then buying from a major civ. Oncew you get a tech lead, sell are your stuff to the minor and conquer! a 15+ PQ for ya Well that is what i do at the start, how about you?
You guys are awsome. You guys rock. You guys are the greatest. This game is too ADDICTING! Now promise us fans one thing... never side with EA. (It's leading to the downfall of Lionhead). Thank you! keep up the good work!
So after i took over the yor planet and and built a starbase i took a break. Came back to load it and i noticed in a couple of turns my influence was practically gone. Now the Yor gave in after i took over their planet to the surrounding race (forget thier name), would that be enough influence to cause such a boom?

well, i'm playing on normal, and i have had some transports sitting outside of the yor. I kinda forgot i left them there. But anyway a message comes up taht says, my generals may be to dumb to see your transports sitting next to my planets. please, i would squase you if you set the game to "intellegent". The thing is he has no ships because the dregin is hammering him. so i say "Please, you are worthless Mr. Yor!" Anyway, if i were going to take over the yor and had transports sitting next
I always seem to get the creative, 10% planet quality, and the rest into research to start off my game. I also pick the technology party. It seems like i stay with the AI better on Normal. What do you guys use? P.S. I feel so sorry for the minor races, i hate picking on that nice squirel but he just gives me money like crazy!
Is there an actually fight ship model or do the AI just have custom defenders called fighters? Always seems that thier fighters have more hitpoints then my defenders, even if they are not militaristic, so i was just wondering if they got a core that we didn't or something. Also, its so much cooler loading ships with laser weapons (cause you can put so many on them) then missles
I played my first game on Beginner and Creamed the AI. Now my first gmae on normal i was creamed within 30 turns, how are you suppose to keep up in technology with them? I was only producing 4% with my technology slider at 50 %, nine races, and three labs on earth and one on mars, with a technological capital. I really don't know what i am doing wrong!
I have an alliance with everyone but the games says i don't have one with the torians... So i cannot get the victory condition. Is the game suppose to end when you reach one, ebcause i have gotten no mesages. when i look at all the races it all says they are my allies. Do i have to stop everybodies wars against each other or something?
